From “UK, Casualties of the Boer War, 1899-1902” Entries for The Border Regiment Only basic details I’m afraid, no rank or company etc. (There are some decidedly “Boer-type” name included – I guessing local guides attached to the Regiment perhaps?)

Paul, thanks for posting these, for your info I have recently treated myself to copies of the Natal Field Force and the South African Casualty Rolls, so should you want specific information on any of these Gents please let me know? I have also purchased a copy of 'In Memoriam' the Roll of Honour Imperial Forces, Anglo-Boer War 1899-1902 by Steve Watt that gives the location of burials, again should you need anything looked up please just let me know! I have been intending to create a list of the chaps who sadly did not return with a view to photographing their graves like Forum Members have undertaken on Battalions in the Great War but I keep getting side tracked. Kind regards, Scottie

Note. I have discovered that this list also includes some results for three local South African units: Border Horse, Border Mounted Rifles and Border Scouts. This probably explains the unusual surnames. The results listed were as provided by using a search for "Border Regiment" which I guess did not filter out the local unit match results,( It especially explains entry for "deserter" - where could a UK soldier desert to?!)

Hi guys, I am wondering how I can find out how many of the casualty's were from Cockermouth. As you know I have found 1 casualty but I would like to know if there were any more. Regards Mike.

That’s a tough one Mike. I guess you know that the Commonwealth War Graves Commission (originally the Imperial War Graves Commission) was only set up post WW1 and I don’t know of a comparable Boer War site. You could try this for help: http://angloboerwar.com/ Otherwise I guess the only way would be looking for Boer War memorials in your area and individually looking for them on “Ancestry” - very painstaking I know! Cheers Paul

Findmypast has Boer War records but not much information about the individuals. EG I searched for Zartien (the last on the above list) as an unusual name and got a hit. It states he was a Trooper in the Border Mounted Rifles. It also gives an extract from the Gazetteer of the Second Anglo-Boer War 1899-1902, HM & HGM Jones, describing the action and its build-up. Ian
